What's Going On With Everyones Cars?

[XRATED]

From what I can gather, Andy was his usual self and didn't really say much.

He did say that the software was pretty much just another version of the same old stuff.

He did have issues and had to use my laptop instead of his own as there is a very specific sequence that must be followed when installing everything for the first time. If its not done correctly then the wrong USB drivers are installed and the laptop wont connect to the ECU and they are very difficult to uninstall.

Jump on the ViPec website and check out the features for yourself. That and the support offered through the ViPec forums was enough to convince me to go that way.

Thanks for the feedback...

Andy is a pretty serious kind of guy. I seemed to get along with him great. You do really need to have your car sorted before you take it to him, he's just too busiy to stuff around with the crappy little things.

I've spoken to Ray a couple of times now... he's very helpfull and seems really genuine about helping you out. ViPec is at the top of my list, especially as I have a ruzic EM pro II on the way.

From what I've seen, the software is very similar to Link ecu's.

Thats probably because they are basically the same thing.

If by similar you mean identical in every way, bar the sticker over the top of the link logo on the circuit board, and a price premium... you are correct.

There's a whole thread on this... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pl...l&hl=vi+pec

Plus after talking to a few industry guys, I believe the r&d and hardware that has been put into this product justifies the cost... Plus it's a plug-in.

Alot of ecu choice ends up being influenced by your tuners prefrence. Just wondering what Kutzie thought of it.

Just bought a fire extinguisher for my r33, where should i mount it for track days? I'll be keeping my rear seat in and my front passenger seat need to be able to move forwards for people to get in the back.

mines mounted on a bracket on the passenger seats mount points, what i plan to do is make a bracket extending off the front passenger seat mounts so it sits in front of the passenger seat just gotta not be lazy and do it lol

[SSHatch]

Mine is mounted behind the drivers seat in the footwell.

Put some nutserts through the panel below the rear seat cushion and mounted it there. That way if people sit in the back its behind their feet anyway but still easily accessible if ever needed.

Just gotta be careful where the holes are drilled as there are a lot of looms running up and over in the same spot.

Will try and get a picture of it later tonight and post up.

fixed your car yet PJ?

[SSHatch]

Took me all of 30mins that night in the garage where it wasnt wet and f*kn muddy.

That really pissed me off. At least if I had broke something I wouldnt have been able to fix it, but being just a hose come off and not being able to put it back on and as such missing out on the best part of the day....

Bought a new power window mechanism for my R33 drivers side a few weeks back, got it installed and it failed miserably (fine until it had weight on it going up, then just grinded horribly). Luckily managed to get the existing one un-jammed so it's good for a bit, but sent the replacement back and got another second hand part, just went to install it today and it has the exact same problem as the last one The crappy thing is I'm not even sure it's a different part, the markings on the mechanism seem veeerry familiar.

Other than that she's going beautifully, took her in for a service/check up a few weeks back and no real problems found, had her for over a year now and have had next to no problems (which I wasn't expecting at all).

[Clandestine]

Actually, speaking of problems... Had some Bstrd key the bonnet of my car a couple of months back, does anyone happen know of someone who can do a cheap (but decent) patch up of the paint on the front? She's standard factory white so I doubt finding the colour would be difficult.
